Every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday I mosey on over to the Far Left Side and see what creator Mike “Lefty” Stanfill has decided to enlighten the masses about that particular day.  As today is Wednesday, I clicked over and found a very interesting and thought provoking cartoon about the Koch brothers, who are two of the largest contributors to the Tea Baggers.

David Koch

Mr. Stanfill also shares an article from the New Yorker that goes into more depth about the Koch brothers.  Take some time and read the article.  It’s pretty scary stuff.  Koch Industries, their company, is the second-largest privately owned company in the US with the brothers having a combined fortune upwards of thirty-five billion dollars.  The Koch brothers are staunch libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation.  Very ironic since they are rated one of the worst air polluters in the country and Greenpeace calls them a “kingpin of climate science denial.”  Sound like any group that is politically active?

As I said before, take some time to read the article.  It’s an in-depth look at the workings of the Tea Bagger movement, a supposed movement by the People that is really being funded by billionaires.  Pass it around and get people reading it as all of America needs to understand the danger and absurdity of this extreme group’s thinking and philosophies.
